Our family pic this year, and,  our family pic last year – here.

New year’s eve was exhausting… but I loved every moment of it.  I enjoyed every minute preparing the family and our home for the coming of the New Year.  My househelp Jenjen took her holiday off last Sunday, so the kids and I worked together to clean up the house and prepare the "Media Noche", or, our New Year’s Eve dinner.   

By 11pm, I was all done with the food and the house.  I sent the kids down to fix themselves up before midnight as I also wanted to take some family pics at Mom’s house. 

We all wore yellow.  It is said that yellow symbolizes wealth and properity

The firecrackers a few minutes before midnight

Time to relax!

So, as I end this post, I would like to wish everyone a Happy, happy New Year!
